Stop in for a cup of coffee

said I would have to train these people, because the prior supervisor just did the work and didnt take the time. Hence the long hours. Well if they would hire the people that would actually know the job it would be different. The amount of OT he was talking about would easily pay for the correct employee. However, I have the feeling they will lock me down and not let me hire the correct employees.
:soapbox: Been there done that. Worked maintenance most of my life. Previous job-worked my way up to Facility Service Manager. AKA- the guy that gets blamed for everybody's F-ups above and below him and is expected to work 24/7 to get it all done. Got pushed out after 26 years by new management. Companies will pay OT rather than hire right cause they see it as temporary extra vs long term higher wage. Well guess what. Maintenance is a job where mechanical aptitude and common sense can not be replaced by training. Good people will improve with training, but too many office jerks believe anybody can do it with training and it just don't work that way.
